I'm pretty sure that does say Altair, son of no one, but to get that you have to read the phrase backwards and the letters are disconnected. I hope they planned that instead of just copying the letters they found on the internet.
New Assassin's Creed: Revelations Teaser Hints at Ancient Greece
- Thread starter Scott Bullock
- Start date
Please just go to a different time zone and location this time. Brotherhood was such a disappointment in that reguard. If this game goes back to the Medival Middle East I'm going to be pissed.
Hah, this so much.TheEndlessSleep said:
Desmond really isn't that interesting and the modern story just doesn't really interest me. I really honestly would just want a game with various assassins in different time periods and screw the modern "genetic memory" bits.
Ancient Greece? C'mon.....Who knows maybe it'll take during the time the Ottoman empire conquered the Byzantine Empire, I don't know how Turkish looks like but I do know that the Byzantine Empire was Greek.
But then you still have the problem of no one using swords anymore leaving gun combat remaining, which means that everytime you assassinate someone all of their body guards will shoot you.
Or they could set it during the war that was much bigger and involved every continent on Earth that happened right before it that was so big that Churchhill called it the first World War, i.e. the Seven Years War.Drago-Morph said:

What a great way to make a game so much more bland.Lissa-QUON said:
Go play Thief 3 or Hitman or something.
I always speculated that it was going to be set in Victorian England and heard a rumour that it was going to be set there, but the picture in the teaser didn't look very Victorian-esque. But that teaser was actually useless, so I guess we won't know till E3.
Agreed on the Arabic. It does say Altair, Son of No One, but I was aware of Altair being spelled differently. Plus, the letters are disconnected and written backwards.
I can honestly see 'Revelations' being a multi destination game.
Obviously I'm only using the tiniest pieces of information to hazard guessing at this but what we know of Ubisoft Montreal, they absolutely love spin offs.
What better way to seed spin off after spin off than to utilise 2 or 3 new characters and time periods?
I may be reading too much into the subtitle, but usually a subtitle insinuates a side diversion, rather than a full evolution of a storyline - and 'Revelations' insinuates multiple discoveries.
Each of the rumoured locations, Feudal Japan, Victorian England, etc could all be pat of a vast jigsaw before we get the true Assassin's Creed III. We all know it will end with Desmond being the sole focus of the final installment - but we also know that as soon as the mystery is solved the capacity and interest for side games will dissipate greatly.
Ancient Greece is interesting though - didn't see that one coming. Although I really should have with the God talk having begun in ACII and Greece is rife with potential, from the near invincible Spartans, the inhabitants of Mount Olympus and the comparatively high in-fighting the civilization experienced. I can see the pieces of Eden 'explaining' this already.

I hope Ubisoft are going to be mature enough to not slip in a little Kratos Easter Egg for unnecessary giggles if it really is set in Greece. And wouldn't it make more sense for the game to be set in Rome, with the names of 'Those Who Came Before' all being in Roman, e.g. Minerva and Pluto?
Also, why haven't they made one in Victorian London? If anyone in the development of Assassin's Creed is reading this, you can have that one for free.

Well, the names are Roman, but the entities are not exclusively Roman. Minerva is practically the same as Athena, but the Romans only adopted the Etruscan name for her (Etruscans called her Mnerva (or some similar variation). And Etruscans themselves were in contact with the Greeks so that deity is a mish-mash of exactly the same things, only with different names).spielberg11 said:
On the other hand, Ancient Greece would be like my dream come true. I absolutely adore Antiquity and especially Greece. If they really put the game there, I'll be the happiest person on Earth. However, the Phaistos disk is far older than Ancient Greece and dates back to somewhere between 19th and 14th century BC. That's roughly thousand years before the Ancient Greece. So I wouldn't take the disk as a hint to where the game will be set. Unless the game will explore Greece in general. But the disk being a hint to Ancient Greece - highly unlikely. It is still an extremely interesting hint.
I'd be happy with Ancient Greece or a return to the crusades. I still don't understand why anyone would want to play as Desmond for a whole game though. I don't really like the guy.
I stand corrected. I was aware of the fact the Romans ripped off the Greek Gods in everything but name, but thank you, you seem to be an expert in this genre. I salute you, Historian.Beliyal said:
